They call their project “Poo Zoo”. This project helps protect wild animals. In the past, it was usually difficult for scientists to get a piece of wild animal skin (皮肤) for research. They have to catch the animals and make them sleep to collect information. This not only takes a lot of time but can also be bad for the animals. They decided to collect information by using animal poop (粪便) because there were living cells (细胞) in it. These cells have DNA, which gives them important information for breeding (繁育) programs and animal protection. This is very important as the number of wild animals is quickly dropping. To help endangered (濒危) animals, Professor Suzannah Williams from the University of Oxford in the UK created the “Poo Zoo” project. The idea is to collect living cells from animal poop without hurting them and then grow the cells. Starting with mouse poop, the team tried many ways to collect the cells while keeping them fresh. After improving their skills, scientists turned to elephant poop. They cleaned the poop carefully and took out the living cells. Professor Williams told CNN that the team had successfully collected living elephant cells many times. She hopes people can use this way in the wild by looking for animal footprints (脚印) and fur to find poop. However, it’s not easy to make life from these living cells now. Poop has a lot of bacteria (细菌), so scientists need better ways to grow healthy cells. “They also need to learn more about animal breeding to turn these cells into babies”, said Vice magazine. 1．Why did scientists start“Poo Zoo”? A．To protect the endangered animals. B．To discover the DNA of mice and elephants. C．To create a way to make catching wild animals easy. D．To stop people from getting a piece of wild animal skin. 2．Why did scientists use animal poop for research? A．Because it is free. B．Because it has living cells. C．Because it is difficult to find. D．Because it has a lot of bacteria. 3．According to the passage, the team started their research with ________. A．Mouse poop B．Tiger poop C．Lion poop D．Elephant poop 4．What will scientists do next? A．They will stop the project and start a new one. B．They will tell more magazines about the project. C．They will improve their ways to grow healthy cells. D．They will try to find more animal poop in the wild. Taking a vacation is not just a fun break from work or school; it is also good for our physical and mental health (身心健康). When we go on vacation, we get more time to relax. The change of the environment helps us forget about terrible things in our daily life. This can lower our blood pressure (降低我们的血压) and improve our sleep. A study showed that people who took regular vacations were 30％less likely to get sick. Vacations also let us explore new places and cultures. We can try different delicious foods,learn about local traditions, and meet people from different places. These experiences help us see the world differently, which makes us know more and makes our life colourful. Even small things, like reading a map in a foreign city or ordering food in another language, can teach us problem-solving skills. What's more, spending time with family and friends during vacations improves our relationships. In our busy lives, we spend most of our time studying or working. During vacations, we have more time to share stories and create memories together. This can bring us closer. Some people even find that vacations help them understand their loved ones better. In short,vacations are not just enjoyable-they are important for a balanced and healthy life. So,choose a beach holiday, a mountain hike, or a city break; pack up your clothes and set out.You will rest,grow, and come back with great energy. 1．Which can help people get problem-solving skills according to the text?

The ideas come from a popular personality test called MBTI. “I” means introverted and “I” people are usually quiet and shy, while “E” means extroverted. To learn more about it, let’s hear from the following two students. ②Andy, an extrovert I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I go to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems. ③Anna, an introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on my own with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings. I love both my friends and need their different personalities to make my life colorful. ④From Andy and Anna, extroverts and introverts can be friends and also need friends with different personalities.

A． B． C． D． ①When we talk about communication (沟通), we often think of talking with others. But do you know that we also talk with ourselves from time to time? For example, your mum asks you what you would like for breakfast. Many foods come to your mind: sandwiches, bread, milk...You think that it would be great to have sandwiches. Until you tell your mum what you want to eat, you are talking with yourself. ②We call this kind of communication intrapersonal (内心的) communication. This can be talking to ourselves, reading, writing, thinking, understanding and remembering something. ③Intrapersonal communication plays a big part in our lives. Good intrapersonal communication allows you to understand yourself better. When you’re comfortable with who you are, and you know what you want, you can better get on with yourself. Also, intrapersonal communication helps you keep an eye on your thoughts and feelings. When you find that your mind is full of bad thoughts and sad feelings, you will try to cheer up and get rid of them. ④What’s more, intrapersonal communication helps you to talk with others. Understanding your thoughts and feelings better allows you to put yourself in others’ shoes when you talk to or listen to them. Then, you can better understand and get on with them. 1．How does the writer explain the idea of intrapersonal communication in Paragraph 1? A．He offers some facts. B．He gives an example.

Doing something new can make you feel relaxed and become more creative. Do you like shaking things up? Holiday time and weekends are a great chance to take a break from your usual routine (日常) and find new ways to have fun. What does taking a break mean? Following a routine can be helpful, and it’s really good for school or sports practice. However, mixing things up a bit is good for you too. Taking a break doesn’t mean you have to go travelling to another country or have a holiday by the sea. It could mean visiting friends, finding new places or reading anything that takes you away from your usual routine. How is time off good for you? After many weeks of learning and the same routine, it’s good for you to have school holidays. You don’t need to get up early or prepare for tests on the holidays. Scientist Eliza says that time away from everyday life means you feel less stressed and makes you become happier. This helps you have a good sleep and get on well with others, she says. Make the most of a break. There are lots of ways to find new activities and give them a try. Eliza advises getting creative. It means you can try out a new dish, make up a dance or make art works out of things you find around your home. What’s more, a change of scenery (景色) makes you happier, Eliza says, so get active outdoors. Finally, make a photo show of the new things you see when you travel.

But do you really have SAD or you are just being introverted (内向的)? Here is something you need to know. Being introverted is one kind of your personality while SAD can be a serious illness. If you are introverted, you may not like or it may take time to warm up in a group. However, if you have SAD, you will be really seriously nervous when you face or even think about social situations, and this will possibly cause more problems, including a fear for parties or other social activities. Introverted people will use their free time to relax before or after social activities. They may read or get prepared for the coming activities when they are alone. For those with SAD, taking part in an activity might cause fear or stress. Some may even feel really sick, for example, a high blood pressure or a sudden stomachache. When it comes to public speaking, introverted people hate the meaningless talk after the event, but they may not hate the speech itself. For those living with SAD, standing in front of a group is a problem for them. They are often afraid that they’ll say the wrong thing and some may not be able to control the shake of their bodies. You’d better go to an expert for advice if you guess you have SAD．Actually, most of you will find that you are simply a bit introverted. And for those who have real problems as SAD, it is possible to get out of the problem with proper ways. 1．How does the writer help the readers understand SAD and introversion? A．By explaining the causes. B．By asking questions. C．By using numbers. D．By making comparisons. 2．Which one of the following students can possibly have SAD according to the passage? A．Lucy always listens to music before making a public speech. B．Tom feels a little difficult to excite himself at the beginning of parties. C．Jim cannot stop shaking whenever thinking of going to a party. D．Lily enjoys the feeling of standing in front of a group. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Most of the university students have SAD in fact. B．A person with a sudden stomachache must have SAD． C．Serious SAD may cause a high blood pressure. D．A person with SAD always says wrong things. 4．In which part of magazine can you read this kind of passage? A．Health. B．Technology. C．Culture. D．News. News is all around us. People get news from almost everywhere. According to a recent study, 60% of people read news on their smartphones, while 30% watch news on TV. 40% of them read news at least once an hour, and 20% read newspapers every morning. Young people like to share and talk about news on social media (社交媒体). It’s normal to feel a little upset when you see stories that seem worrying. There are things you can do to help with your feelings. It’s fun to learn about good stories, but bad news happens too. For example, reports about climate change (气候变化) can make you feel upset. “Bad news isn’t nice to hear,” says Dr Aaron Balick. “It is normal to feel worried about these things.” Studies also show that we remember bad news stories more easily and clearly. This is called “negative bias” and scientists say people have it because it’s a very old way to keep us safe and away from danger. If you’re worried about a story you’ve seen on social media, for example, ask your parents or teachers to help you find out if it’s true. Another way to deal with (应对) bad news is to put your worry into action. If you find stories about climate change upset, believe that you can help. Everyone can do something to make our world a better place. Also, “don’t keep your feelings to yourself”, says Balick. Talk to someone you trust, because this may help you understand where your feelings come from and why you feel this way. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By using numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Why do people have “negative bias” according to scientists? A．Because bad news happens more often. B．Because bad news reports keep us upset. C．Because people always want to keep safe. D．Because people like to read good news. 3．What can you do when you are worried about some news according to the text? A．Keep feelings to yourself. B．Ask your parents for help. C．Write to the newspaper. D．Listen to good stories only. 4．Which is the best title for the text? A．How to help with climate change. B．How to deal with bad news. C．What to read to young children. D．Where to find useful news. Whether you enjoy books filled with facts or like interesting stories, reading is good for your health. Reading opens your eyes and mind to a new world. You can find out about people living different lives from yours and amazing facts about the earth. You can learn about important news and how you can make a difference to the world. Reading improves your understanding of people and the world around you. Sarah Driver, a teacher for 25 years, says, “Reading helps you understand how other people feel because you get to see things from their eyes. It’s like standing in their shoes and seeing the world the way they do.” This is called empathy. Reading also helps to improve your creativity. As Driver says, “You begin to picture the story in your head and create your own images (图像). It helps you think of new ideas and find different ways to solve problems: It’s a new world to experience in your mind.” Reading can also bring you closer to your friends and help you to make new ones as you share books and writers you like with each other. You can start a book club where everyone decides what to read and talks about it together. There are times when you may want to escape (逃离) into another world. You can do that with a book without going anywhere. When you’re reading a story that catches your interest, you forget everything around you. If you’re feeling tired, upset or lonely, getting lost in a story can give you peace and help you relax. Reading can also help you understand any difficult feelings you might have. Driver says. “It’s like having a friend who understands. When you’re feeling sad or angry, you can read about characters going through similar things. They show you different ways to face those feelings and find answers and hope.” 1．What does the underlined word “empathy” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Listening to your own heart. B．Looking at yourself in the mirror. C．Understanding others’ feelings. D．Sharing your feelings with others. 2．How does reading help you make friends according to Paragraph 3? A．By sharing interests with others. B．By picturing your friends in mind. C．By reading in the book club alone. D．By finding ways to solve problems. 3．What can you do when having bad feelings according to the text? A．Go to some places you like. B．Lose yourself in a good story. C．Take a book wherever you go. D．Find friends to talk about them. 4．What can be the best title of the text? A．Who can start a reading club? B．What are good reading habits? C．How to make reading interesting? D．Why is reading books important? When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him, as his parents always had him do some housework or do some part-time jobs. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had a better career, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. These are the findings of a 40-year study. Researchers followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who worked when they were young enjoyed happier and more successful lives than those who did not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were useful members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the research. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them, too.” Vaillant’s study followed these males all these years. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s boyhood-activity scores with their mental-health scores. Points were given for part-time jobs, housework, hard work in school, and the ability to deal with problems. The relation (关系) between what the men once did as young boys and how they turned out as adults was very sharp. Vaillant and his team found that those who did the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with other people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed (失业的). The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class (社会和经济阶层) made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence. They also help him understand that people must work with others towards common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live wonderfully in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 1．What can you learn about John? A．He liked doing part-time jobs. B．He enjoyed his career and marriage. C．He received little love from his family. D．He had few friends when he was a child. 2．According to Vaillant, why could John be better off than his childhood friends? A．Because he did part-time jobs after work. B．Because he felt proud of himself when working. C．Because his working experience in his childhood was of help. D．Because he was happier than his friends when they were young. 3．How did Vaillant and his team get the findings of the research? A．By comparing different sets of scores. B．By checking the men’s family social class. C．By recording the boys’ effort in school. D．By testing the men’s problem-solving ability. 4．The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________. A．IQ plays an important role in people’s development B．social and economic class decides how our career goes C．only working at a young age is important to our adult life D．the ability of working with others towards goals is very important ①Do you know the job of a travel experience officer (旅行体验官)?

I’m sitting in my room, looking at the screen in front of me for a long time. A small sound breaks the quietness. It’s a new message from Mia, my best friend for as long as I can remember. “ Hey, have you seen the news? The sea waters are going up faster than we thought. My family’s moving north next week. ” I took a deep breath (深呼吸) and answered on the screen, “ Yeah, too. ” A new pop-up (弹出式窗口) suddenly comes out on the screen. It’s about the people who had to move away from the seaside cities. People are leaving for higher place. A program shows the sea water is going up and covering all the neighborhoods.

Scientists have found a special way to use animal poop. They call their project “Poo Zoo”. This project helps protect wild animals. In the past, it was usually difficult for scientists to get a piece of wild animal skin (皮肤) for research. They have to catch the animals and make them sleep to collect information. This not only takes a lot of time but can also be bad for the animals. They decided to collect information by using animal poop (粪便) because there were living cells (细胞) in it. These cells have DNA, which gives them important information for breeding (繁育) programs and animal protection. This is very important as the number of wild animals is quickly dropping. To help endangered (濒危) animals, Professor Suzannah Williams from the University of Oxford in the UK created the “Poo Zoo” project. The idea is to collect living cells from animal poop without hurting them and then grow the cells. Starting with mouse poop, the team tried many ways to collect the cells while keeping them fresh. After improving their skills, scientists turned to elephant poop. They cleaned the poop carefully and took out the living cells. Professor Williams told CNN that the team had successfully collected living elephant cells many times. She hopes people can use this way in the wild by looking for animal footprints (脚印) and fur to find poop. However, it’s not easy to make life from these living cells now. Poop has a lot of bacteria (细菌), so scientists need better ways to grow healthy cells. “They also need to learn more about animal breeding to turn these cells into babies”, said Vice magazine. 1．Why did scientists start“Poo Zoo”? A．To protect the endangered animals. B．To discover the DNA of mice and elephants. C．To create a way to make catching wild animals easy. D．To stop people from getting a piece of wild animal skin. 2．Why did scientists use animal poop for research? A．Because it is free. B．Because it has living cells. C．Because it is difficult to find. D．Because it has a lot of bacteria. 3．According to the passage, the team started their research with ________. A．Mouse poop B．Tiger poop C．Lion poop D．Elephant poop 4．What will scientists do next? A．They will stop the project and start a new one. B．They will tell more magazines about the project. C．They will improve their ways to grow healthy cells. D．They will try to find more animal poop in the wild. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家们启动“Poo Zoo”项目，通过收集动物粪便中的活细胞来研究和保护野生动物。 1．细节理解题。根据“This project helps protect wild animals.”及“This is very important as the number of wild animals is quickly dropping.”可知，启动“Poo Zoo”项目是为了保护濒危动物。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“They decided to collect information by using animal poop because there were living cells in it.”可知，使用动物粪便进行研究是因为其中有活细胞。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Starting with mouse poop, the team tried many ways to collect the cells while keeping them fresh.”可知，团队从老鼠粪便开始研究。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Poop has a lot of bacteria, so scientists need better ways to grow healthy cells.”可知，科学家们下一步需要改进方法以培养健康的细胞。故选C。 Taking a vacation is not just a fun break from work or school; it is also good for our physical and mental health (身心健康). When we go on vacation, we get more time to relax. The change of the environment helps us forget about terrible things in our daily life. This can lower our blood pressure (降低我们的血压) and improve our sleep. A study showed that people who took regular vacations were 30％less likely to get sick. Vacations also let us explore new places and cultures. We can try different delicious foods,learn about local traditions, and meet people from different places. These experiences help us see the world differently, which makes us know more and makes our life colourful. Even small things, like reading a map in a foreign city or ordering food in another language, can teach us problem-solving skills. What's more, spending time with family and friends during vacations improves our relationships. In our busy lives, we spend most of our time studying or working. During vacations, we have more time to share stories and create memories together. This can bring us closer. Some people even find that vacations help them understand their loved ones better.

People have talked about it a lot online these days. The ideas come from a popular personality test called MBTI. “I” means introverted and “I” people are usually quiet and shy, while “E” means extroverted. To learn more about it, let’s hear from the following two students. ②Andy, an extrovert I enjoy trying new things and playing with many friends. Ken and I go to the beach on Saturdays to surf, and on Sundays, I hang out with Tom, eating and riding. At school, Larry is my best friend. I don’t spend much time with him over the weekends because he likes to play video games at home just by himself. I’m cool with it because I can visit other friends. I value his friendship a lot because Larry cares about me and often gives great advice to my problems. ③Anna, an introvert I think nothing is more enjoyable than staying on my own with a great book in hand. However, I do also need time with my two best friends, Sue and Tina. Sue is so full of life that her jokes bring much joy to my quiet days. Tina is more like me and she understands me better than I do. We often take a long walk to share our feelings.

But do you really have SAD or you are just being introverted (内向的)? Here is something you need to know. Being introverted is one kind of your personality while SAD can be a serious illness. If you are introverted, you may not like or it may take time to warm up in a group. However, if you have SAD, you will be really seriously nervous when you face or even think about social situations, and this will possibly cause more problems, including a fear for parties or other social activities. Introverted people will use their free time to relax before or after social activities. They may read or get prepared for the coming activities when they are alone. For those with SAD, taking part in an activity might cause fear or stress. Some may even feel really sick, for example, a high blood pressure or a sudden stomachache. When it comes to public speaking, introverted people hate the meaningless talk after the event, but they may not hate the speech itself. For those living with SAD, standing in front of a group is a problem for them. They are often afraid that they’ll say the wrong thing and some may not be able to control the shake of their bodies. You’d better go to an expert for advice if you guess you have SAD．Actually, most of you will find that you are simply a bit introverted. And for those who have real problems as SAD, it is possible to get out of the problem with proper ways. 1．How does the writer help the readers understand SAD and introversion?

D．A person with SAD always says wrong things. 4．In which part of magazine can you read this kind of passage? A．Health. B．Technology. C．Culture. D．News. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文通过对比社交恐惧症（SAD）与内向性格的差异，说明SAD是一种需专业干预的疾病，而非普通性格特征，并指出多数自认有SAD的人实际只是内向。 1．推理判断题。全文通过并列对比SAD与内向在社交场合反应、独处状态和公开演讲表现三方面的差异，来帮助读者理解SAD和内向，故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“For those with SAD, taking part in an activity might cause fear or stress.

People get news from almost everywhere. According to a recent study, 60% of people read news on their smartphones, while 30% watch news on TV. 40% of them read news at least once an hour, and 20% read newspapers every morning. Young people like to share and talk about news on social media (社交媒体). It’s normal to feel a little upset when you see stories that seem worrying. There are things you can do to help with your feelings. It’s fun to learn about good stories, but bad news happens too. For example, reports about climate change (气候变化) can make you feel upset. “Bad news isn’t nice to hear,” says Dr Aaron Balick. “It is normal to feel worried about these things.” Studies also show that we remember bad news stories more easily and clearly. This is called “negative bias” and scientists say people have it because it’s a very old way to keep us safe and away from danger. If you’re worried about a story you’ve seen on social media, for example, ask your parents or teachers to help you find out if it’s true. Another way to deal with (应对) bad news is to put your worry into action. If you find stories about climate change upset, believe that you can help. Everyone can do something to make our world a better place. Also, “don’t keep your feelings to yourself”, says Balick. Talk to someone you trust, because this may help you understand where your feelings come from and why you feel this way. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By using numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Why do people have “negative bias” according to scientists? A．Because bad news happens more often. B．Because bad news reports keep us upset. C．Because people always want to keep safe. D．Because people like to read good news. 3．What can you do when you are worried about some news according to the text? A．Keep feelings to yourself. B．Ask your parents for help. C．Write to the newspaper. D．Listen to good stories only. 4．Which is the best title for the text? A．How to help with climate change. B．How to deal with bad news. C．What to read to young children.

You can learn about important news and how you can make a difference to the world. Reading improves your understanding of people and the world around you. Sarah Driver, a teacher for 25 years, says, “Reading helps you understand how other people feel because you get to see things from their eyes. It’s like standing in their shoes and seeing the world the way they do.” This is called empathy. Reading also helps to improve your creativity. As Driver says, “You begin to picture the story in your head and create your own images (图像). It helps you think of new ideas and find different ways to solve problems: It’s a new world to experience in your mind.” Reading can also bring you closer to your friends and help you to make new ones as you share books and writers you like with each other. You can start a book club where everyone decides what to read and talks about it together. There are times when you may want to escape (逃离) into another world. You can do that with a book without going anywhere. When you’re reading a story that catches your interest, you forget everything around you. If you’re feeling tired, upset or lonely, getting lost in a story can give you peace and help you relax. Reading can also help you understand any difficult feelings you might have. Driver says. “It’s like having a friend who understands. When you’re feeling sad or angry, you can read about characters going through similar things. They show you different ways to face those feelings and find answers and hope.” 1．What does the underlined word “empathy” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Listening to your own heart. B．Looking at yourself in the mirror. C．Understanding others’ feelings. D．Sharing your feelings with others. 2．How does reading help you make friends according to Paragraph 3? A．By sharing interests with others. B．By picturing your friends in mind. C．By reading in the book club alone. D．By finding ways to solve problems. 3．What can you do when having bad feelings according to the text? A．Go to some places you like. B．Lose yourself in a good story. C．Take a book wherever you go. D．Find friends to talk about them. 4．What can be the best title of the text? A．Who can start a reading club? B．What are good reading habits? C．How to make reading interesting? D．Why is reading books important? 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了阅读对个人身心健康、理解他人和世界、提高创造力以及交友方面的积极影响，强调了阅读的重要性。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Reading helps you understand how other people feel because you get to see things from their eyes. It’s like standing in their shoes and seeing the world the way they do.”可知，阅读可以帮助你理解别人的感受，因为你能够从他们的角度看问题，就像站在他们的立场上看世界一样；可推测出“empathy”意为“同感”，即“理解他人的感受”。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Reading can also bring you closer to your friends and help you to make new ones as you share books and writers you like with each other.”可知，阅读可以让你与朋友更亲近，并帮助你结交新朋友，因为你可以与朋友分享你喜欢的书籍和作家。因此，通过阅读并与他人分享兴趣可以帮助你交朋友。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“If you’re feeling tired, upset or lonely, getting lost in a story can give you peace and help you relax.”可知，如果你感到疲惫、沮丧或孤独，沉浸在故事中可以给你带来平静并帮助你放松。因此，当你有不好的感觉时，你可以通过沉浸在好的故事中来缓解情绪。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章从多个方面阐述了阅读的重要性，包括对个人健康、理解力和创造力的积极影响，以及阅读在交友方面的作用；选项D“为什么读书很重要？”为最佳标题。故选D。 When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him, as his parents always had him do some housework or do some part-time jobs. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood friends. He had a better career, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. These are the findings of a 40-year study. Researchers followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who worked when they were young enjoyed happier and more successful lives than those who did not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were useful members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the research. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them, too.” Vaillant’s study followed these males all these years. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s boyhood-activity scores with their mental-health scores. Points were given for part-time jobs, housework, hard work in school, and the ability to deal with problems. The relation (关系) between what the men once did as young boys and how they turned out as adults was very sharp. Vaillant and his team found that those who did the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with other people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed (失业的). The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class (社会和经济阶层) made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence. They also help him understand that people must work with others towards common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live wonderfully in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 1．What can you learn about John? A．He liked doing part-time jobs. B．He enjoyed his career and marriage. C．He received little love from his family. D．He had few friends when he was a child. 2．According to Vaillant, why could John be better off than his childhood friends? A．Because he did part-time jobs after work. B．Because he felt proud of himself when working. C．Because his working experience in his childhood was of help. D．Because he was happier than his friends when they were young. 3．How did Vaillant and his team get the findings of the research? A．By comparing different sets of scores. B．By checking the men’s family social class. C．By recording the boys’ effort in school. D．By testing the men’s problem-solving ability. 4．The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________. A．IQ plays an important role in people’s development B．social and economic class decides how our career goes C．only working at a young age is important to our adult life D．the ability of working with others towards goals is very important 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项长达40年的研究，该研究表明童年时期参与家务或兼职工作等活动，有助于培养责任感、独立性和能力，从而对成年后的职业、人际关系和幸福感产生积极影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“He had a better career, a better marriage and was healthier.

The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.”可知，文章旨在告诉我们与他人合作实现目标的能力非常重要。故选D。 ①Do you know the job of a travel experience officer (旅行体验官)? It’s an interesting and cool job.
